New York Moment: LXXXII

(The 1 train. ISAAC, IAN J., and JAMIE O. are riding refugees, due to the A train’s signal problems and being instructed to take an entirely different train downtown.)

ISAAC: (to JAMIE O.) Hey, did you wind up getting tickets to Damn Yankees?
JAMIE O.: Yeah, we’re going tonight.
ISAAC: I saw it last night. It’s fun.
JAMIE O.: Cool.
ISAAC: I really liked Jane Krakowski. And Cheyenne Jackson — mmmmm.
JAMIE O.: You’re so fickle.
IAN J.: Yep.
ISAAC: I’m not fickle! I just have a big, welcoming heart.
JAMIE O.: Your heart is big enough to house all musical theatre muscleboys.
ISAAC: Well, I’m not the only one. This guy sitting behind us moaned when Cheyenne Jackson stripped down to his underwear.
IAN J.: Sounds like someone I know.
ISAAC: I know. I turned to Melanie and Bear at intermission and said, “Is that what I do?” and they were like, “You’re worse.”
IAN J.: Totally.

(The train pulls into 42nd Street. ISAAC lets go of the pole he’s been holding on to and accidentally elbows a woman who’s standing up in the head.)

WOMAN: Ouch!
ISAAC: Oh my god, I’m so sorry.
WOMAN: Um, OK.
ISAAC: Oh god!
JAMIE O.: Fickle and violent.

FIN.
